Mt. Kenya Group Hike
Location: Nyali Mombasa
The Mount Kenya Summit Circuit is an adventurous six day trek circling the jagged peaks of Nelion (5188m) and Batian (5199m) and then summitting the third trekking peak of Point Lenana (4985m). It is a special route taking in all the cols, ridges and glaciers of the mountain and is more demanding than the other routes with some long days on rocky trails and camping all the way.
Amount: KES 10,000 / Night

You are welcome to adjust the itinerary and add extra
nights in Nairobi or Naro Moru or Embu. Ol Pejeta Conservancy is very close
to Naro Moru (or a reasonably short drive from Embu) and is a great location
